All the details you need to know about Staying at the Hilton in Downtown Vancouver, written by a local!…
This was the question we were asked all day. Hate to break it to ya but we were the nerds snowshoeing yesterday! It is something that I can tick off my list but it’s probably more of a one time thing. So here’s the scoop…. Have a plan on where you’re snowshoeing: We didn’t and it would’ve been a game changer Don’t be afraid to ask the rental…
Since it’s Thanksgiving weekend, I’m going to shoutout good days spent with family. Whether it be randomly driving to Cypress a few days ago with my sister, going for a bike ride along the River with my dad or a random adventure with my mom, I’m so grateful for days like these. At the beginning of this month, on September 6th, I took my mom whale watching. This…
Here we are on this lovely last day of the long weekend in BC , I’m having the most low-key weekend (can’t remember the last time I’ve had that!!) and absolutely loving it. It’s been over a week since my stay at the EXchange Hotel in Vancouver and thought what better time than now to share about it. Last Saturday, was a birthday weekend for one of my…
A few Saturdays ago, I went downtown for a girl’s weekend. We decided to stay at the Pinnacle for its location and view! Preliminary Evaluation: For the price (after we split it), the night we had, the close proximity to Granville and of course the view (deal breaker!), I’d recommend! Service: Our initial experience was upon arrival when we phoned to ask about parking. The lady was very…
Two weekends ago I went on a mini road trip with one of my best friends. Most AirBNB’s aren’t fully booked right now so there were plenty of options! We came across this cute one located in the beautiful Upper Mission area of Kelowna. We had a lovely 2 night stay here & thought I’d share some details. If you’re looking for a clean, modern and affordable place…
Decided to put on a beautiful dress I thrifted online & do a last minute mini photo shoot. I received 3 dresses the other day and decided they should stay in my closet…at least for awhile until I resell. I absolutely love Little House on the Prairie and these photos remind me of it…. Sending love around the world, Taylor…
Hanging around home and everythng being shut down for the past while (month-ish) has been…well lots of things. Regardless of the feelings everyone has had, it has given many people a new mental space, time to slow down (even if you’re still grinding at home) and time to reflect. Here’s what I’ve learned while self quarantining. Priorities: Where both my priorities…
“The Party Hotel”. Vancouver’s most modern, hype and aesthetic hotel. 1 night, two double beds, for my sister’s birthday weekend As per usual, here’s the scoop, real & honest, sometimes petty and always personalized. A big reason for booking this hotel was because of the way it was advertised online. The way its targeted towards a younger, spunkier crowd through the bright coloured pictures and fun décor is…
As the year wraps up, we all start reflecting, reliving, criticizing or boasting about the past 365 days. In retrospect, it’s just a length of time we use to measure everything that has or hasn’t been accomplished within that window. Although resolutions aren’t a bad thing, I believe goals should be ongoing and not produced due to a specific timeline. I’d like to share what 2019 has…
At the end of last October I had the opportunity to stay at the Sutton Hotel in Vancouver with four of my best friends! We all enjoyed our one night stay & had a great experience. Like anything, with the good, there’s also always room for improvement. Most of the stuff in my reviews are to be taken lightly as I purposely critic in a satirical way &…
What makes you happy? Pretty simple question right? If you’ve spent time with me a lot a couple months ago (yes I’ve procrastinated this post!), you’ve heard that question a lot. Most of my life I have been pretty introverted. What I have realized from this, is that it builds a barrier from meeting lots of people, making connections and indulging in bounteous, diverse conversations. Especially being a…
Last weekend I went on a little adventure with my mom for her birthday! Instead of hanging out downtown, we opted for a little AirBNB near the water. This is Quin’s Lake House. As you can see it is one of the most charming and tranquil place you’ll find on the website, that isn’t too far from the lower mainland. The Atmosphere As soon as we walked in,…
The blogging community is like a mini world of its own. What everyone has in common is that we want to share what we know with others. There’s so many creators that I’ve got the chance to interact with and hope to meet in the near future! A blogger named Anna from Anna Xiu blog was generous enough to nominate me as a blogger whom she wished to…
This post has taken awhile to publish. Mostly because I had written the whole thing somewhere and misplaced it before I could type it up. One of the most irking things is losing work that you put effort into and I tend to become unmotivated to restart. Definitely a habit to fix. So here I am, rambling aside, this is what went down this day. You start this…
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted. So much good stuff happening in life! If you open up your closet, there’s got to be at least one black T-shirt in there. Either that or it’s too much of a staple that your closest is too crazy for. Quite frankly, that always seems to happen, even with the most basic of piece. So a couple weeks ago I…
Mother natured allowed for the sun to radiate through and illuminate the beautiful fields (plus the lower mainland!). These random days of sun are so glorious knowing that there will be an ample amount of showers to come. The Chilliwack Sunflower Fest has since passed, but I thought I’d share a couple photos we took while walking among the rows. Lately I’ve been trying to make an effort…
Toured the Graystone Mansion estate. This beautifully manicured yard and gardens gives the unmistakeable aura that you really are somewhere important. A little history behind it… Moved into in 1928 by Edward “Ned” Laurence Doheny, Jr. and Lucy Smith of Pasadena along with their five children Original construction cost was $3,166,578.12 A murder-suicide took place in 1929 where Ned was shot by one of his close friends The original land was sold to the…
Yesterday my sister and I had it all planned out that we were to visit the lavender fields. Since I managed to look at the wrong opening dates, we decided to reroute our day. It started off by us already being in a beautiful area. We decided to spend some time soaking in the sun, farm fresh air and snaps some pictures. Then, we toured around the country…
Thought it was about time I shared about my sister and I’s trip to L.A. last June. Yup, it’s been over a year oopsie! Okay, so this trip was fairly last minute since we had just planned it about a month prior. Since I had just graduated a few days before it was time to fly on over there I couldn’t have more more excited. That plus the…
